SAN DIEGO (AP) — Former San Diego Mayor Roger Hedgecock is suing the city, claiming a sidewalk fall ruptured his wife’s breast implants.

The San Diego Union-Tribune (http://bit.ly/2p7fyGL) says Hedgecock and his wife contend the city was careless and negligent for failing to repair sidewalk damage caused by a tree.

The October suit says Cynthia Hedgecock tripped over a raised section of sidewalk in Pacific Beach two years ago and crashed to the ground.

The suit says her breast implants ruptured, leaking silicone into her bloodstream. She had to have them removed and replaced in what the suit calls a “grueling procedure,” followed by weeks of recovery.

2. Don't worry,

I'm certain that I'll pick up a few more threads that have more political overtones. It just happened that this was in the headlines for the past 24 hours while some of the others mentioned may not have received recent coverage. I'm also working from the bottom up to the top of the major media sources in California. With all of the posts that I make, I'm bound to pick a turkey every once in awhile.

My understanding is that San Diego also settled a number of lawsuits recently regarding the sidewalk infrastructure in the city so I think it has some credibility as a legitimate topic considering the impact on the taxpayers.
